It makes a difference how and where you use

As you enjoy your new product, keep these

The issue

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.

Tune into safety

• One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand

rated for the weight of your TV.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions

for proper use of this product.

• Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment

system furniture and TVs.

• Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as

steps, such as a crate or chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can become excited while

watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV. Make sure that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they

cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

CHILD SAFETY

safety tips in mind

Wall mounting

If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:

• One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of

your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.

• Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a

professional installer.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is

appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are unsure, ask a professional installer.

• TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by

the manufacturer.

12 Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms

or when unused for long periods of time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

S3125A

15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The

plug must remain readily operable.

16 An apparatus with three-prong, grounding-type

plug is a Class I apparatus. Class I apparatus which needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric shock. Make sure that you connect the Class I apparatus to a grounding-type, three-prong outlet.

17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed

to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

18 The apparatus should not be exposed to

dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

Warnings

Electric shock hazard

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any cover or expose the device to rain or moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.

Lightning

For added protection for your device receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any antenna or cable system. This helps prevent property damage and personal injury from lightning and power line surges.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Handling the LCD panel

• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD panel. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken glass.

• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin inflammation.

• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle, rinse, and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other hazards.

Safety check

After completing any service or repair to this device, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your TV is in correct operating condition.

Power source

Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult an electrician or your local power company.

Cautions

Damage requiring service

Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV.

• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.

• If your TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your TV to its normal operation.

• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV system installer

Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Condensation

Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if the TV is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the TV.

Mobile telephone warning

To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and cellular telephones away from the TV.

End of life directives

Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated for environmental reasons. Your TV also contains material that can be recycled and reused. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org to find a recycler in your area.

Non-active pixels

The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red point. These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the performance of your TV, and are not considered defects.

Have you ever caught yourself wishing that you didn't constantly need to adjust the volume: wishing that the commercials wouldn't blare and that you could better hear whispering during a movie scene? Audyssey Dynamic Volume is a feature that lets you put the remote control down and enjoy your show while Audyssey adjusts the sound levels for you automatically. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is a feature that automatically finds the richest sound settings-including enhanced bass-for each scene, even when the volume level is held steady, making the sound coming from your TV speakers sound more lifelike. See page 25 for instructions on how to adjust the audio settings to take advantage of Audyssey.

SRS TruSurround HD:

At Insignia, providing you with superior audio quality is just as important as exceptional picture quality. That's why we added SRS TruSurround HD, which provides you with a theater-like surround-sound experience, with the clearer dialog and the enhanced bass sounds that movie viewers and gamers crave.

INlink:

Enjoy the benefit of having HDMI CEC compatible products plug and play! No setup is needed! CEC technology lets different components discover and communicate with each other. (See page 38 for instructions on how to use INlink)

through 5, substituting the device button for the device you would like to check.

Using learning

This universal remote control includes a learning feature so you can add functions that are unique to your home entertainment devices (such as VCR Tracking Up or Down). However, there are some considerations to keep in mind.

Precautions

• Your original remote controls must be in working order for learning to work properly.

• Learned buttons are mode-specific, so each one can store a unique function for each mode.

• Do not use the following buttons for learning: Device Buttons, SET, or (record).

• Learning capacity is approximately 42 to 75 buttons, depending on the code being learned.

• Certain device functions are not learnable, including multi-frequency types, some high frequency functions, and other unusual formats.

• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient fluorescent lights.

Note

Have your original remote controls handy before programming learning.

Programming a learned button

To program a learned button:

1 Place your Insignia remote control

head-to-head (about 2" apart) from your original remote control (the one that came with the device).

control that you want the Insignia remote control to learn. Press the mode button you want to learn functions on.

3 Press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice,

then release.

4 Enter 9 7 5. The LED blinks twice.

Note

If more than 10 seconds pass between button presses, the remote exits programming.

If the LED displays one long flash instead, replace the batteries. If the remote control continues to display one long flash, the remote control cannot learn a new button.

5 Press the button on the Insignia TV remote you

want to program. The feedback LED stays lit for three seconds, indicating that the remote is ready to learn.

6 On the original remote, press and hold the

button to be learned. Continue holding the button on the original remote until the Insignia’s LED blinks twice.

Note

If the red LED displays one long blink, a learning error has occurred. Try repeating this step again until a successful capture occurs. If the function is still not captured, press and hold SET to exit programming and review the Precautions” above. After reviewing, start programming again at Step 1.

7 Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to program another

button. Once you have completed programming all the buttons you want, press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice to save all data learned.

Deleting a single learning button

This process returns the button to its original programming for the mode you select. You can also delete learned programming by teaching a different function to the button (see “Programming a Learned Button” above).

Note

If more than 10 seconds pass between button presses, the remote exits programming.

If the LED displays one long flash instead, replace the batteries. If the remote control continues to display one long flash, the remote control cannot learn a new button.

To delete a single learned button:

1 Press the mode button that you want to remove

the learned button from.

2 Press and hold SET until the LED blinks twice,

then release.

3 Enter 9 7 6. The LED blinks twice. 4 Press the button containing the learned

function to be deleted, twice. The LED blinks twice and programming ends.

Deleting all learned buttons in a specific mode

Note

If more than 10 seconds pass between button presses, the remote exits programming.
